About Scott


Bio

After three satisfying careers (software engineer, public interest lawyer, and educational publisher), I left the big city to come home to the mountains of West Virginia. I am happy raising goats and grandchildren at Storybook Farm, but I still want to share my love of law and logic with the next generation. That's why I tutor just one subject: the LSAT.

A fantastic tutor for those seeking to perfect their LSAT score

Coming into our tutoring sessions with a solid 172 on practice tests, I was looking for the insightful eye of a professional to help me cross the last threshold to 180 territory. Scott is an extremely knowledgeable tutor and was able to pinpoint exactly where the remaining holes in my skill set were hiding. Through both lessons and practice guidelines, Scott was able to help me achieve my first 180 on a real LSAT practice test. This has left me confident in advance of my test day and I am certain that Scott’s help will have made all the difference in my score. If you find yourself in a similar situation, Scott has my full recommendation.

Scott helped me increase my score by 14 points!

Initially, I had come to Scott with a 158. Scott held me accountable, wasn’t afraid to tell me when I could be taking more tests, and made me understand not only what my mistakes were, but why I made them. He is extremely knowledgeable in logic, which is the core foundations that this test is built on. Scott gave me confidence, and after 19 lessons I reached my goal score that we had set on day 1. Thank you Scott!

Gave me the final push necessary to score a 180

I contacted Scott after finding myself struggling to achieve a consistent score on LG. I was regularly receiving near-perfect scores on LR and RC but could not seem to adapt to novel games or unusual variations of existing ones that happened to pop up in tests. Scott gave me some strategies to keep pulling out inferences when the well seemed to have run dry, and more importantly, taught me how to manage the stress of encountering an unfamiliar game. When I felt myself getting bogged down on the LG section during my second LSAT attempt, Scott’s advice helped me push through and ultimately score a 180. I would recommend Scott to anyone looking to squeeze out that last drop of performance necessary to fully realize their capabilities.

The one tutor I needed for LSAT motivation and score boost!

I'd already been studying for the LSAT for a full year, and was discouraged because I wasn't scoring in the range I'd hoped. Since taking lessons from Scott, I've been amazed at how much I'm growing and how much I can absorb from a single session. He has concrete methods for every kind of issue you'll encounter during your LSAT journey, be it with question types, strategies for approaching a certain passage type... the works! And, best of all, he offers a FREE session for every 180 you get on a PrepTest!! You can tell he's very dedicated to his work, and that he only really cares for his students' success. I don't know what I would have done without him!

Amazing tutor

Scott is a wonderful tutor and really cares about his students. I improved over 10 points with just a few weeks of lessons. He explains concepts very well and provides lots of useful tips for thinking through question types and improving timing. Definitely would recommend working with him.

Patient and Knowledgeable Tutor

Scott has taught me that when you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results. Despite the technology pitfalls, finding a flexible LSAT prep program, obstacles of working full time, work commute woes, and the hustle and bustle of home life while studying, Scott is patient with me. He pushes me to achieve more and to master a study schedule that works for me. The steady encouragement and tough love he gives alone is what I need. I’m excited to continue working with him.

Exactly who you need to go from 170 to 180

I came into Scott's tutoring having already hit a 170 on a practice test, with scores consistently in the high 160s. Scott was the person I needed to push my score beyond good into great. For RC, he showed me in quickly how to effectively tackle inference questions in ways I had not heard before. Everybody knows RC is the hardest to improve in. With Scott, however, he has the unique and rare skill of perfecting already is good. Exactly the tutor you need to conquer your weaknesses and seize the dream 180, the golden key to the top law schools.

Already learned so much

I have only had a few sessions with Scott and I can already tell the difference he is making. You can tell from your first meet with him that he is experienced and knows how to get results. I was struggling with the RC section and everything I have read says that it is very difficult to improve in RC. Scott taught me a method I could practice on my own time. I am already getting better! He goes above and beyond what I was looking for in a tutor and Im so happy I decided to go with Scott. Trust me, your search stops here!

Amazing!

I have only had 1 session with scott so far & I can already tell the huge difference he is going to make in my studying. Seriously one of the best people I have ever heard of, but also, the kindest and most encouraging tutor. He is awesome!!!!

One week before the test and Scott helped me tremendously...

When thinking about what I could do with having just one week left until test day, I reached out to a couple of tutors in Wyzant explaining I just needed help with reading comprehension. Lucky for me, I found Scott and he provided me with insane methods and tricks to conquer reading comp. If you are in the position I was I recommend you sign up for a session with Scott.
